its sad that this is what the country decided to do. FOSS has nothing to do with the wars waged by politicians, sometimes at the expense of the very people trying to collaborate together despite chauvinism.

i imagine it will sadly get worse as these types of conflicts escalate.

🙄

good taste

reddit was relying on donations and banner ads for the longest time too. i honestly don’t think a text-based forum will be that expensive to run until its very full of people, i guess well see how instances react over time to an increasing userbase.

it gets hard to do this when my bank or other assorted corporation forces me to use their shitty shit.

make the services we use sustainable

we can start by not relying on startups and corporations at all.

federated solutions like lemmy or matrix have the advantage of not being a capitalist scam with conmen at the top. i’m sure better decisions will be made here when we need more money.

ads, tracking, and the use of shitty bloated frameworks (like electron) so the tech bro owners can save time and money at the expense of ours.

lol my laptop is from 2012, i run gnome and kde easily. windows usually needs a round of debloating every update to be usable.

Its very hard to achieve all those things even when youre creating machines that are dedicated for remote desktop streaming.

to be fair, i can do this quite easily with a standard fiber connection and a somewhat old laptop-grade cpu/igpu.

if OP is self-hosting, their hardware is probably capable, it would be that hard if hes paying for a VPS where gpu acceleration is not a thing unless you pay for it.

oh, i get it now. i know X can do it easily and was only aware of waypipe for wayland, but you seem to have had trouble with it.

ill follow this thread because the answer also kind of interests me.

it can be set up with root for convenience if you want but its generally meant to be rootless, with autologon, yes.

portals support is pending still so its kind of annoying to set up, and it needs the full desktop stack to be installed on your server, but it isnt rocket science to get started with.

i just use sunshine if i want to use gui apps. its annoying to setup in a headless server but it works.

the feasibility of this solution will depend on your usecase.

im the opposite, i find it hard to keep up with long email threads, but throw a few forums and pages on rss…

yes.

what? gedit is awesome. it has good code highlighting and thats what we need right?

it is still overvalued anyway. they havent shown the profitability and growth potential that its current price reflects, not even after plunging as much as it did.

i have found a couple before but havent bothered with them, i don’t remember which they are but it sure peeved me off to be the only one told to “build it yourself”

not all software.

i see what you did there

solo devs can spin windows executables and mac installer but not linux…?
